    The food was so good & fresh! I highly recommend coming in and trying the food & Micheladas. The place was clean & the servers were attentive.

    This is the first time that we sat down and ate at this establishment. We have always picked up tubs of Mariscos to go for our family functions, the Mariscos were really delicious. Dinner tonight was good, Coctel Maleficio Aguachile, callo de hacha, this was made of Aguachile, shrimp, and scallops, and was delicious. There was a lot of seafood in it. The tacos de Camarón were also very good. The service was great. The young lady that waited on us was courteous, friendly and attentive. The structure is medium in size with plenty of tables and chairs and booths to sit down and enjoy your meal. The prices are fairly reasonable in line with other establishments of its kind. There's plenty of parking with the handicap stalls near the front entrance.

    The shrimp cocktail with pulpo !

    This is my mom's and I's favorite location for some delicious lukewarm shrimp cocktail with pulpo! Her and I have recommended it to MANY and they love the service & how quick the servers are! It's always so clean inside and they have all you need right at your table!

    Mariscos a little bit of everything

    Honestly they're overpriced. Not the best tasting food either. Servers are not the friendliest. Definitely not going back.

    Excellent food, excellent service and a great atmosphere and dining experience…read more I had the ceviche mixto and it was .com. Super fresh and tasty. They have a great salsa bar including roasted and seasoned white chilis. My gorgeous Lady had the shrimp tacos and they were to die for. This place is really nice but it is tucked away in the corner of a business center. But well worth searching for. If you go, get me a plate and I'll see you there. The end.

    Ensenada Surf n Turf is a bit of a hidden gem -- literally. It's tucked just off the 71 freeway,…read morebehind some of the more popular shopping centers, so much so that when we pulled up, we genuinely wondered if it was open. Just 1 day ago a review was left saying they got sick...but we went anyway. That worry didn't last long. The place was very clean, the staff was friendly, and since it was our first time, they walked us through the menu and helped us pick. As soon as we walked in, we felt that cool beach/surf, ocean-inspired theme throughout the restaurant. We ordered the battered shrimp tacos, which were excellent, and tried the stingray tacos too -- not something you get to eat just anywhere, and they didn't disappoint. There were multiple house-made salsas and sauces to go with everything. We also got a burrito, which ran close to $20 -- on the pricier side, but it lasted me two full days, so you can judge the value for yourself. It's a seafood spot, so the higher prices make sense once you're there. Overall, this is one of those places you really have to experience in person. Highly recommend giving it a shot, even if it means a slightly bumpier drive to find it.

I really came for the Quesobirria tacos I ordered the combo with 3 tacos and rice and beans. Also got a regular drink that did not come with the combo. Total was around $25 which kinda crazy but I understand price for meat has gotten higher so restaurants still need to make a profit. They had three salsa this I have to say was the only downside was that none of them were actually spicy at all. I'm not sure if the one I had was the habanero one that's what it was labeled, but it did not taste nor look like habanero salsa so perhaps they just didn't have that one at the bar. Once I got my plate, it looked great Every taco had a very good portion of meat inside they were nice and seasoned. The meat was not even remotely dry. It was nice and tender and juicy. Tacos were by far the best ones I've had in this area. Their rice and beans were good as well. All in all, I definitely will be coming back. Also, I love that they have outdoor seating.

You get large portions and worth the price IMO. The food came out in lightening speed ! Which was shocking and loved how fast we were able to eat. The only negative thing I can say about their new place is the service. The service was great but they interrupted our meal several times and I felt like we couldn't take a breath to enjoy the food. The server kept asking if we were ok but we barely got our food and we were asked several times while trying to enjoy it. Also the photographer just coming up to use while we ate. We literally took pics with food in our mouths. Everything seemed so rushed. With all the times we were asked if we were okay or needed anything no server came with a pitcher of water to refill our cups. None of them asked about our drinks either. I will be back but maybe in the day time and not the evening time. ( to see if it will be different) the owner or manager needs to tell staff to kind of chill on asking people if they are ok especially when we barely got our food and interrupted several times during the meal. Let people eat and enjoy it for a little bit before being asked like every 5 mins lol

The restaurant was rented out for a few hours to host an event for my family. Everything was done with elegance and class; it was such a pleasure to have booked this restaurant. A special thank you to the owners, managers, and staff who made this a beautiful experience. Thank you also to our server, Jose, who without a doubt would be the reason for many of us returning. This was my first time here with my family, but definitely not my last. Only con: limited parking in front; but it is so worth finding a parking spot. They put much effort into this place. I really appreciate the ambiance; it was a pleasant one. Highly recommend giving this place a try, you won't regret it.
